Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all the necessary ingredients for your tomato pie.
Layer the pie crust with alternating layers of ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon, fresh green onions, fragrant basil, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper.
In a separate small bowl, combine the cheese and mayonnaise until well mixed.
Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the top of the tomato pie. Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Allow the tomato pie to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or cold, depending on your preference.
